This movie is stunningly beautiful to look at, and the acting is excellent. HOWEVER, there should be a flashing banner as large as the title itself, that makes it clear that this movie, historically speaking, is a boiling cauldron of hogwash. Few people read real history books these days, and tend to get their sense of history from movies and other entertainment. I would wager that a large percentage of the people who have seen this movie now believe that Mary Bolyn had a child with Henry VIII, that he raped Anne, and modern feminist sensibilities were alive and well. This is not the fault of the movie. Rather, it is a reflection of the terminal rot in our education system.
